This project program is separated into residential area –private- and a museum -public-. In these two contrasted programs, I raise off the ground a park for artists and their families, leaving the space underneath for the museum. In addition, a previous maze research is implemented into the circulation patterns to make art spaces less conventional, fostering encountered surprises and improvised moments. These two groups of users are able to share the sunlight, views, and direct contact to nature together, but still providing the required privacy for both of them. In this operation strategy, multiple lifestyles are offered in order to follow their understanding of the domesticity, simultaneously interacting with space and enjoying the various perspectives of art. simultaneously interact with the space and enjoy various perspectives of artwork.

A culture landscape creates by local identity of Taichung city

The art farm is near Tunghai University and it is situated in a residential and commercial mixed area. Interestingly, in this area, visitors and residents go to different places because they have different purposes. Different users, such as residents and visitors, regard certain “object” as node, path or edge differently. Therefore, visitors and residents actually have their own version of maps, all different from others. Since an individual only connects one’s directions and destination interested, the uninterested programs are neglected. This phenomenon refers to the type of maze created by the Shortest Path Algorithm.

Add elevated public spaces for residents on second floor and leave the public spaces on ground floor to tourists.

In order to maintain privacy, the entrances are separate and set apart in two directions for residents and tourists.

In order to fit into the urban landscape, the art stores are designed with a lower volume, connecting the main street; the housings are designed with a higher volume, placed behind the art stores.

Strategy -the shortest path algorithm analysis

A with many solutions and no dead-ends, where it is useful to find the shortest path.
